    It's possible that eating more might have had an effect but these numbers really aren't significantly different from what you've been getting.

    that number is in line with what you've been getting. 20-30 points here and there is not really a significant change. I like that 155 preshot this morning. :)

    Beth, you can tag Janet so she gets a notification that you're trying to reach her. You do it by typing @ and the beginning of her name. A drop down menu should come up and you click on her name. Someone on here had to tell me how to do that ...

    Within the body of your post. I already did it up above. sometimes the tags don't work so you might have to try again.

    Since the members on this board have dealt with every sort of problem that our sweet kitties throw at us, there is a vast amount of collective knowledge here. The best FD vets would be ones that have had their own kitties diagnosed with FD and learned the day to day ups and downs that can happen.

    Sorry I didn't see this earlier... I see you gave.5 which was a good call. Offer more food if it drops lower than 70.

    Why did he get sick? Hairball? Eat too fast?

    None of the above. When u have a minute please check other posts from today about his hypo yesterday. Not sure if there are any clues there. Very unlike him to puke but within minutes wanted to eat again. I slightly warmed his food cos I know cold food can make them pukey. If u have time tonight would love to hear ur vetsulin expertise about what to do if they throw up before insulin and if they throw up after being given insulin, as well as how to proceed with PM tonight and AM tomorrow doses. Thank u so much in advance .
